I visit Hong Kong three to 4 times per year ("L" visa requirements).  I have never seen a street patrolman that looks foreigner, they have looked like local to me.  Kong Kong was returned to China over 10 yeras ago, I am pretty sure the "higher-ups" from the British era are all gone by now.

I do not think they were purged either, HKG habitants are used to a western type of life, will not have kept silence if that had occurred.
